Dinant to Echternach + accomodation
Posted: Mon September 8, 2008 01:10 AM UTC

My husband and I will be leaving Dinant Belgium for Echternach. Unfortunately, i can't seem to find the cost of train 2nd class from Dinant to Echternach.
1)Is there a direct train?
2)How much will it cost? one way?
3) From there we will stay for 4 nights and head back to Amsterdam Central?Is there a direct train and how much for 2nd class?
The websites for train service in the Netherlands and Belgium only show cost for internal and domestic services.
4) Does anybody know of a good B and B near the Echternach train station. We are an elderly couple and we would like to find budget accomodation near the staion. a budget hotel would also be fine. many thanks for your help

1) The single through ticket is 37.20 Euro and it is (at least here in Hungary) valid for 2 month. I did read, the tickets to/from Luxemburg in Belgium could be valid for a shorter period, while the price is the same.

You can check it for yourself on www.jizdenka.cz (switch to English and switch to international tickets).

2) There is no direct train, I see you will need at least two changes and the last one will be by bus. You can check it for yourself on

3) Same for the Echternach->Amsterdam question. But the price depends on the route you chose.
I got 68.40 Euros going via Gouvy(Fr) - Vise(Fr), which is 80 km in Luxemburg, 104 km in Belgium and 228 km in Netherlands, but maybe you want to use a different route.

There is a good European railway map, maybe you should check out the routes there:

An interesting option could be to go through Germany. The price will be somewhat more: 74 Euro from Igel(gr) to Amsterdam via Venlo and 84.60 Euro from Igel(gr) to Amsterdam via Emmerich, add 7.60 Euro for Echternach->Igel(Gr) section in Lux. However, you can see some more cities like Trier, Koblenz, Cologne (and some bits of the Rhine valley!)

Look at the corresponding Germany map:
